Just one of those 'seems too good to be true' things. I am looking at this as I expect resorts to be less generous with comp tickets with letterhead, especially on weekends.
The Indy Pass “Get America Skiing Promise”
Although the Coronavirus pandemic has created much uncertainty in our world, the Indy Pass makes you a promise you can take to the bank.
You will receive an automatic credit to your account for a 2021-22 pass if, for any reason, you use your Indy Pass less than four days – no questions asked.
- Zero days = 80% credit
- One day = 60% credit
- Two days = 40% credit
- Three days = 20% credit
Nice little Vermonter deal there. But Jay loves black out days on vouchers. As far as credits for next year, sure. What else could possibly go wrong?Quote:

Sorry man. Covid times and rough work and kids schedule means any chance to JONG someone, even if inappropriate is my current reality. Thought we were just having fun tho.Quote:

I heard an interview with the marketing guy from Cannon yesterday and they’re going to have Indy Pass holders redeem their tickets online, similar to how you’d purchase a day pass.Quote:

So Boston just closed all their schools..... Kindly stay out of Vermont!
me and my crew skied 35+ days after they shut down the lifts in March, had to skin for our laps but had the place to ourselves, and yea, some seriously epic pow days as well. All I know is that regardless of resort operations there will be snow at Jay Peak, and I will be skiing it one way or another.Quote:

Heard a rumor (*caution*) this might apply to passholders only on peak days.Quote:

Glading season continues up to Black Mountain of Maine. Top of a new unnamed glade. We go at it again on Halloween. Let me know if you need details. Bring your mask

^ I am mosdef making a trip to Maine this year. Did all the ciphering and figgered out that it doesn't make any sense to save the sick time I have coming to me (fed employee) before I retire 11 months and 4 days from today. So...when it snows, there will be cases of pow flu raging through my abode.
Understandably VT wants to stay clear and create a state wide bubble......totally agree...do what u gotta do.Quote:

We’ll follow the protocol because we understand the why.....But IMO....jumping everyone to red is more about keeping people out of the bubble....than the actual number of cases in each county.
Who knows...I guess I won’t be visiting my kids till 2021/2022.

My quick research shows Pike County currently has 590 active Covid cases with a population of approximately 55k people. Counties with small populations can swing quickly from green to red as the guidelines are based on the number of cases per million people.Quote:

Hello East Coasters,
Are you excited for winter, but uncertain of the vagaries of VT travel restrictions? If so, I would like to invite you to come ski in the DPRK. We have expanded Masikyrong for the 2020-21 ski season to include a series of new gladed areas which many of you are so fond of. Or perhaps you like to arc high speed GS style turns on impeccably groomed trails like Dexter Rutecki? Bumps? We have those too! After a long day of skiing, settle down with a piping hot bowl of Yukgaejang, a spicy Korean soup. Before retiring to bed, post up your days pictures for all your friends to see on our blazing fast 5G wifi connections.
I look forward to see you all on the slopes this season. The DPRK embraces the philosophy of Juche, where man is the master of his domain.

Agreed...yeah,..no idea where they get the 590 cases number from?....its coming from medical professionals on a much higher pay scale than me.... (who am I to question that/them?...I’m just a peasant...lol...so I’ll have to accept it)Quote:

All I/we can do is follow VT restrictions because it’s the right thing to do......and hope for better days.
Sounds like it’ll be a great trip and thanks for the invite Kim! Can’t beat some fine Yukgaejang after a cold day on the hill.Quote:

I’d be more concerned about catching it from some college kids who were out partying.
The short answer is - yes. However, from what I hear, most folks assume that as long as they work from home but otherwise go about their normal lives for 14 days before they travel they believe they are following the guidelines. That is NOT the case. It really requires some forethought as you better be able to live at home without contact with others for 2 weeks. If your family has contact (kid goes to school, partner goes to work, etc) it's virtually impossible to quarantine at home before visiting VT.Quote:

Not trying to Benny up this thread, but as a genuine devils advocate:
Has everyone that’s traveled from VT to insert state name also followed proper quarantine protocol?

no.
Absolutely not, nor do they follow restrictions within their own state.

I mean, I'm sure someone has, but my experience in tourist-town Maine is that the locals, particularly those of a certain political bent, are far more resistant to masks (and distancing and such) than the tourists. I also suspect there are a lot of people who are following the guidelines because they recognize that the ability of their employers to bring in revenue this winter depends on rates staying low enough that the states don't step in with more public-health regulatory action. Of course, if people are following guidelines and doing so in part by avoiding other people, it's going to be relatively hard to observe their behavior, whereas it's pretty easy to spot the anti-mask types in the grocery store or the hardware store.Quote:
